English term

(balsa) twist

English to French Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space model plane
Add the 1/4" plywood horn mounts and cover the top with 3/32" balsa.
Take care that a ***twist*** is not built in.

I dampen the outside surface with a spray cleaner containing ammonia and the sheet can be easily conformed to the fuselage shape. Cover the sides simultaneously to avoid building in a curve or ***twist***.

Remove the flap and cover the top and bottom of the wing with 3/32" balsa.
Be careful not to build a ***twist*** into it.

vriller

à mon avis, il faut périphraser. par exemple, en veillant à ne pas faire vriller le balsa en l'introduisant. Je ne choisirais pas le terme torsion
